Biographical History

Bernhard Kolb (1882-1971) was a German Holocaust survivor and chronicler of the fate of the Jewish community in Nuremberg, for which he had been working for two decades before his deportation to Theresienstadt in 1943. After the Second World War he settled in the US and compiled a manuscript entitled The Jews in Nuremberg 1839-1945.

Scope and Content

Correspondence regarding the transcription of Kolb’s manuscript about the history of the Jews in Nuremberg, the copying of other historical material in his possession, and the loss of some related documents in the returning process. The manuscript as well as another account by B. Kolb have been merged into The Wiener Library’s eyewitness testimony project.
